Summary

It is hypothesized that the addition of formal cardiac rehabilitation to standard care will result in long-term improvements in cardiovascular fitness and functional capacity in individuals who have suffered a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or minor stroke.

Furthermore, it is proposed that the addition of cardiac rehabilitation will influence depressive symptoms and cognition.
